SWAN 60, EARLY PURPLE, WINS HORS D'OEUVES CONTEST WITH LE PETIT BATEAU DISH

The ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous started with almost no breeze on Monday which meant the yachts had to motor to Diamond Cay, Jost Van Dyke. The wind greatly improved yesterday with a healthy easterly wind for the sail from the island of Jost Van Dyke to Norman Island. The challenging Drakes Passage, where the wind is renowned for its light shifty patches meant crews had to stay on their toes before enjoying a long beat to Norman Island.

The winds today, Thursday, are the fresh easterly winds the Caribbean is well known for. The Swan fleet will leave Norman Island to sail up to the The Baths on Virgin Gorda, where they will spend the afternoon relaxing and enjoying the spectacular scenery before anchoring at Machioneel Bay. Tonight guests will be treated to cocktails followed by an ‘Island Dinner-By-Bite’ at the Cooper Island Beach Club.

The ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous has produced a clear winner in the Hors D’oeurves Contest held last night on the beach at Pirates Bight. Swan 60, Early Purple won the contest with their Le Petit Bateau dish, which the judges could not fault. In second place was Swan 78, Valkyrie, with a Ceviche dish, and Swan 48, Avocation in third place with some Captain’s Crusty Crab Cakes.

Part one of the lively Laser regatta held at the Bitter End Yacht Club (BEYC) on Monday produced some very close results, with Libby Deegan, from Swan 48, Akarana, claiming first place. In second place was Hank Schmidtt, from Swan 48, Avocation, and in third place was Ray Marley, from Swan 53, Blue Pigeon 2.

The Boules Tournament is one of the most popular events at the ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous. The tournament will be having a daily heat with the finals on Saturday at the BEYC. A special mention must go to the young Vincent Kiessling, from Swan 46, Gundel G, who is the youngest child participating at the Rendezvous and has fought off stiff competition to make it through to the final round beating his peers.
